Position of Displays in XP

I have a Dell Laptop with secondary screen attached. Everytime I unplug the screen from the laptop and reconnect the screen the position defaults to the right of the primary laptop screen. I have to manually move it to the top and enable it. I have to do this about 5 times a day due to work. Was wondering if anyone had a reg. entry to change the default position of the secondary screen or even a batch file i can click on to set position.

Hello, We have several XP SP clients in our network that have a lot of following entries in their eventlog. I'm trying to determine the cause for these but have been unable to get any definitive answers so far (by googlin' etc...).

How Change Share Name?
by Guest Jethro- 1 reply
- 186 views
I want to change the share-name of a folder on local machine. I brought up Windows Explorer and right clicked on the folder - then selected 'Sharing and Security'. I try to change the share name in the resulting window, but it won't let me. Why not? I tried the same thing with a folder that as of now had not yet been set up as shared and lacked a share name, and it lets me enter a name just fine - so something is different in the first case. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Jethro

Re: firewall on budget ?

Re: firewall on budget ? Unless I have missed it, what no one has yet mentioned is that a software Firewall (I actually use ZA Free behind a NAT router) is that it is mainly there to protect against outbound problems from malware and trojans. Looking at my logs, I see nothing inbound as the router has handled all of that. I have used outbound protection tests (obtained from trusted sites) to confirm that ZA is doing its job. It has blocked all the tests I have run so far. One problem with using the firewall is that sometimes I will get alerts in the log which turn out to be just the PC talking to itself, but believing it is networked. I am not at my…

There's many references to using cleanup for deleting windows temp files, but the content of this folder displayed by cleanup is always zero. Why is this when there's about 5mb of junk in there?
